So my wrists decided to chime in yesterday, informing me 'You haven't been taking very good care of yourself!'
Though I actually disagree, I think it's better I listen to my 'money-makers'. So, today I paid more attention to posture, to wrist position. I tried to move and stretch much more.
Everything helps!
Skywards
It's hard to believe it's late September here. I've been sitting out on the balcony in my pyjamas every chance I get, reading and enjoying the hell out of the warm sun.
It'll be terribly sad when it gets too cold or too rainy to be outside on the weekends. Working inside all the time I've developed quite the appreciation for any time I can get in the sun.
This morning I got up well before sunrise -- in fact, it's not scheduled for another couple of minutes. It's too bad, as I really enjoyed mid-August, when the sun rose just before I did. No amount of coffee can beat being woken by sunrise.
I'm not excited for December. Most days I will be on the bus to work when the sun rises, and still in the office when the sun sets.
Well, my one month anniversary at work went by without a hitch. I am getting stuff done, slower than I want, but probably at an OK pace.
We are settling in, slowly but surely. We have a couch now, and the home office is setup. I haven't really done anything in there though.
I want to do a longer post later, but for now, let's leave this here.
So, I meant to write something longer, but I don't think longer is really necessary.
After finishing my masters, I have started a new journey, working for IBM Canada in JIT compilation. This blog continues, but, as expected thoughts are my own (though I expect rarely to speak as an IBMer).
I'm on the bus now, headed towards my sixth day of work. Week one went well, if a little slow due to setup and catchup. I hope this week I will hit a good working speed.
Onwards I go!
I thought about writing a blog post about the move. But why do that, when Andrea has done it much better?
Here's my photos though!
Another view, more boxes.

One of the places we saw; Gorgeous, but with a deal breaker of a paint job.
More insane paint.
Walking into the place for the first time
I can't recall, but I think Andrea had just about decided to take it already by this point.
We had the pleasure of spending some time with Stefan Sagmeister at the recent FITC Toronto conference in April, 2014, and he had some things to say. See Sagmeister in Calgary at the CAMP Festival Calgary, Alberta • Sept 8-9, 2014 • http://campfestival.ca Stefan Sagmeister Partner, Sagmeister & Walsh Stefan Sagmeister formed the New York based Sagmeister Inc. in 1993 and has since designed for clients as diverse as the Rolling Stones, HBO and the Guggenheim Museum. Having been nominated eight times, he finally won two Grammy Awards for the Talking Heads and Brian Eno & David Byrne package designs. He has also earned practically every important international design award. In 2008 Stefan authored a comprehensive book titled “Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far”, published by Abrams. Solo shows of Sagmeister Inc’s work have been mounted in Paris, Zurich, Vienna, Prague, Cologne, Berlin, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul and Miami. Stefan teaches in the graduate department of the School of Visual Art in New York and lectures extensively on all continents. In 2012 young designer Jessica Walsh became a partner and the company was renamed into Sagmeister & Walsh. A native of Austria, he received his MFA from the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and, as a Fulbright Scholar, a master’s degree from Pratt Institute in New York. After his studies he worked as a Creative Director for Leo Burnett in Hong Kong and for M&Co. in New York. http://www.sagmeisterwalsh.com/
A bit of swearing, but I love this place.
Ever so gently too late for my own defence, but seems like great advice.
